The feds need to start their own instance on a .gov domain. This would help users know that it’s an official line of communication and not a knock of or satire.
The german government has it’s own mastodon instance at social.bund.de (bund.de is the official domain of the german government). It was set up by the data protection officer and is available to all agencies.
So does the dutch government, though i dont know their hostname
I’d guess your instance has defederated from threads, as it should
I don’t understand how governments and organisations are still relying on third party’s for critical business communication infrastructure.
That said, my company recently outsourced email, etc to Microsoft’s cloud services, so there is that.
Maybe Microsoft needs to start offering Fediverse services into their business products. They probably won’t because LinkedIn.

Hey now don’t threaten me with terrible time.
Edit: imagine having all hr people and overly enthusiastic middle managers in fediverse
HR and Management; WhY aReN’t YoU uSiNg TeAmS?
People who actually do the work for a living; “because I want to actually get something done”
I just know that in the seconds before I pass away the last thing I will hear is that fucking teams beep…
Teams hasn’t crashed for you? It actually runs?
Lets just put it this way, the new teams has been a gigantic pain in the ass. Par for the course I guess. I have a list of things microsoft that are just frustrating and even moreso because our team that deals with these things just stand there like they are waiting for a bus. For instance, I had onedrive showing a message for over a year and a half that it was “processing 6 files” and the activity thing would just spin. It wouldn’t even say what the 6 files were. The IT support team tried the usual microsoft dance. Stop it and restart it. If that doesn’t work, reboot the machine. If that doesn’t work then uninstall and re-install. Then if that doesn’t work shrug your shoulders and say “don’t know…”. It was finally solved when I got a new laptop. I the year or so it was happening, I asked if they could look at log files, and you would have thought I was describing a new alien species to them. Fuck microsoft and their proprietary bullshit they have hawked on everyone. And shame on managers for buying into this shit ecosystem.
I am so frustrated with all the crap MSFT are doing to Outlook at the moment. WTF is the search bar in the title bar? How am I supposed to move the Outlook window around when there is a search bar taking up valuable grabable space. Also, why is there a search bar on Every.Single.Fucking.Window. I don’t need a search bar on the task I have that has 5 lines of content. Finally, why is the search bar so fucking useless. I want to search for an email from my manager, about a widget for a specific customer, so I type in the managers name, the part number for the widget and the customers name. What comes up? Either every single item involving any of these terms or nothing! And it is inconsistent. The same search either works or doesn’t work depending on some random attribute that no one can rationalise.
Were defederated from threads due to the community vote that voted to do so
As well, Lemmy cant view threads posts so even if this instance was federated with threads theres another thing stopping it and that is stopping every other instance from viewing all of the content (comments to lemmy posts show up but nothing else atm)
Wait, do i get it right that if we’ve had been Feferated, Threads users can view our (Lemmy) posts, but our users cant view or interact with any Threafs posts?
Threads can’t see lemmy content either, its two different message types and they don’t have handling for the one lemmy uses
(They also don’t pull posts at all, only outbound federation is implemented in threads rn)
Good, Threads is toxic for the fediverse, Meta is a cancer on humanity.
Hang on, I’ll just send him an email about it on [email protected]
I’ve seen your creative commons link a lot recently. I am curious whether you have to paste that in every time or what automated method you use ?
I’m on KDE X11, where I configured a shortcut to input the license:
paste_license.sh#!/usr/bin/env bash sleep 0.5 xte "str ::: spoiler Anti Commercial AI thingy" xte "key Return" xte "str [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/)" xte "key Return" xte "str :::"On windows probably autohotkey would do a similar job. No idea about macs…
Anti Commercial AI thingy
You don’t think that by just putting the name of a license in some prose that LLM companies will ignore it and not use it in training data, right?
They most certainly will not. For all they know you’re just helpfully linking to the creative commons.
I don’t think your plan is workable, but if you’re going to persist at least add some boilerplate: “the above content of this comment is licensed under…”
I will persist how I want. Thanks.
Anti Commercial AI thingy
It reminds me of those copy-paste messages that people used to put on Facebook in the previous decade
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
No, I disagree. Threads is blocked. POTUS decided to set up an account on a blocked instance.
great news! thanks for the info
